A Taste of Summer

Even though its early early spring, today was an perfect summer day. Bright sunny and 70 degree's out, it was made for getting out into the fresh air.

Today, was my first opportunity to get with my new dSLR camera. I visited two birding locations, the first by Gilman Park always has a flock of ducks as the locals come and feed them. After taking many pictures of the duck couples I moved on to my second location.

The Sandy Point Discovery Center on the shores of the Great Bay Estuary in Stratham NH is a wonderful place to visit with your family. They have a boat launch, interactive center and an accessible board walk that takes you out into the marsh marsh. As I strolled along the board walk today I saw yet another pair of Mallard ducks swimming among the reeds and later I first heard and then saw a Song Sparrow. He was really living up to his name and was singing his heart out.
